Adam Thielen on Win Over the Detroit Lions: They Built this Team to Handle Success and Failure

Use this man! He’s still 19! We mix him and KJ with JJ and we’re winning games period. SKOL VIKES

Kirk Cousins has to continue using Adam. Gotta use both sides of the field and keep opposing defenses honest. Can’t just target JJ and do the Randy Ratio. This Vikings team is deadly when everyone is involved from Dalvin, JJ, and Adam.

Adam’s the best! They need to get him the ball more often. Player of the game today!

This going to get good 👍!

When the secondary gets healthy and dialed in more we won’t see the defense on the field as much .

Humility is one of his best qualities!! Skol!!

Love Adam Thielen team player 👏

Vikings fans are lucky to have thielen

Love Adam Thielen!

What a great journey to and in the NFL…ADAM THIELEN =PAN BLANCO (Spanish for White Bread)

Felicidades Adam por tus 50 anotaciones …
Y por el partido de hoy …

Emocionante final .

Vamos vamos Vikingos

Great comeback win Vikes. Way to persevere under severe adversity. Down 14-0 before half to tie it. Should of had another opportunity for a FG before half. (Refs fault)Then came back from down 24-14 to get a late game win. Holy cow this was a nail biter. The old Vikings under zimmer would of lost this game. We could all sense it. This was a classic divisional rival showdown! The momentum changed so many times. I felt like I was on a roller coaster! This is what the love of football is all about though!!! It’s never going to be to easy to win in the NFL. You take each week for what it is and learn from the mistakes. Home field advantage definitely helped today. Coach KOC has this team and state believing again! Love to see the fire and passion he brings to this hungry franchise that has been starving for a SB. The lions are a good team. Don’t get it twisted. Goff is no sloth 🦥 He did bring the Rams to the SB. There we’re many factors that affected this game. Both teams were banged up at different positions. The Vikings have a far superior offense as far as weapons imo, the lions have a very good coaching staff and a solid defense. ST Brown is going to be a great wide receiver for the lions for a long time. Give credit to the lions where it’s due. If this game was played in Detroit it might’ve been a different scenario. Their franchise has came along ways the last few years. I am curious to see what’s going to happen with Dalvin Cook. At the time the injury looked worse than how he was acting on the sideline afterwards. I think the reason everyone’s not freaking out right now it’s because we’re all anxious and curious to see how Alexander Madison could do given a full work load. ESP after proving himself in the past. Also the Vikings are stacked at the third and fourth running back position. As the game was going on I was also thinking about how convenient it is that the Vikings went to go grab another quarterback to secure the back up position. If cousins were to get hurt it makes me feel a lot more comfortable to get a proven back up, Instead of having Mond or Mannion as a wildcard. I noticed every time cousins would make a bad throw or miss a receiver he would always come back with a good throw to make up for it. That’s the sign of a good quarterback. I don’t care what anyone says cousins is our guy and is getting better, KOC has instilled a lot of confidence into him and you can tell he’s taking chances this year instead of getting swallowed up in the pocket. I’d much rather have him take chances and maybe get a few more interceptions than watch him curl up into a ball and get sacked with that scared confusing look on his face that drives us all crazy. I also feel like the defense really needs to improve. Hunter and Za’Darius Smith did not get much pressure today. Although the lions have one of the best offensive lines in the NFL. Again give them credit where it’s due. The Vikings were exposed in the secondary as well. I’m curious to know why our first round pick Lewis Cine has not seen the field much. I trust that our coaches know what they’re doing, especially after how the game ended the way it did on an interception by the guy that took Harrison Smith spot because of injury. The coaches know what they’re doing. The linebackers played great today. Hicks looked very fresh. I was also impressed by Patrick Peterson‘s performance. He did get away with a few calls, but I think the refs were letting the WRs and CBs go out at a little bit considering what happened with the Thielen on the 4th down play that almost cost us the game. The Vikings did get some calls to go their way, so we can’t complain to much. overall, the Vikings pulled out a big win and a divisional game. I feel a lot better going 2-1 than 1-2. We have a lot of things to work on, but for now we should be content with the win. #Skol Vikes

I’ve been saving Theilen for 2 weeks now. Finally. Don’t forget who #19 is.

For longtime Vikes fans, it’s more about handling failure.

Thielen wouldve had jefferson week 1 performance if he wasnt getting held all game!

Congrats on 50 19!!!! Win or lose, this team is great.

I remember Adam’s first touch down.
It came on special teams.
He blocked a punt. Then he jumped on the ball. Picked up the ball and himself and ran in for a touchdown.

Vikings got lucky that the Lions did not go for it at 4th and 4. As simple as that. It was not because of a change in culture or whatnot. It was because Lions let us win the game. Vikings were so bad for the 3 or so quarters in both offense and defense and I don’t foresee us winning a lot of games unless this defense improves drastically.

Definitely one of my favorite Vikings!!!!!!!!
